Like this product, but it's not magic
Thanks to graduate school, a stressful career field, and my mixed genetics, I have chronic "raccoon eyes" and "crow's feet" underneath my eyes and my lower lids. I like this product because it decreases eye puffiness, keeps them moisturized and doesn't irritate my skin. The little light-refracting "pearls" leave a nice, very sheer, sheen over the tops of my eyelids.
I'm giving it 3 stars because I haven't noticed ANY effect on the fine lines underneath my eyes, and only a mild effect on the dark circles (even though I have been using it daily for about 2 months now). I thought it was going to be like magic in a tube based on the other reviews that I'd read, so I am a little disappointed. However, I must say that it does look very nice underneath the Stroke of Light Eye Brightener with some Original Foundation and Original Mineral Veil, or just Tinted Mineral Veil on my "no make-up" days. Using it in combination with the other products makes a difference, so I will probably purchase it again. I am hoping if I use it for a longer time period that I will notice more of a difference.

My every day go-to
I have frequent mild-moderate dark circles from not sleeping through the night...and probably some genetics as well. I tried another company's product with a roller ball and wand and it literally did NOTHING. I thought it was a lost cause, but the lovely in store expert talked me into trying this, despite not having a tester, and I'm so glad I did. I'm not sure of the long-term benefits, but it definitely helps to diffuse my dark circles and feels wonderful too!

Love it, love it, love it!
First, let me say that I only use BareMineral products, so I can't say that I've tried everything. This product is a tiny miracle in a tube! I use very little and I love the little tingle I feel around my eyes afterwards! It's a little pricey, I know - but this product is worth it! After using it for a few days, I returned and purchased the Face Rev-er Upper :)

BareV Eye Rev-er Upper is an AMAZING PRODUCT
I had this product for a while and did not use it, as it came in one of the kits I purchased. Well, let me tell you - that I've add it to my make-up regime for about one month - and I cannot tell you the compliments I have been getting. Everything from "you're skin looks so good today" from "DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO YOUR EYES??" (Implying that I may have done something to finally get rid of my "bags"...)
Thank you for adding yet another product that simply just makes me feel good. I am with the other supporters - PLEASE do not discontinue this product - ever. Now I'm off to buy the skin rev-er upper....... why stop at the eyes? THANK YOU!

smooth eyes
Use the eye Rev-er upper is amazing. Especially if you use it right before you put on eye shadow. The shadow stays on there until you want it off but when you accidently whip your eye. Also my eyelids for smoother too. I have contacts and it does not bother them at all.

Nice and light under the eye
I use this every morning. I love the way the pearls brighten the under eye. I used to make a concotion of eye rev-er upper and summer bisque to use as an under eye conceler and it worked wonders! A word of warning to those wishing to try this; you must mix it up fresh each day as there is nothing in it to preserve it once it's been mixed. Or just get the stroke of light, it's better and the reason I stopped making my little concotion.

BE BareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upper
I bought this product per phone representative about 2 years ago. 2 years later- I'm still using it and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!... It is one of my required items now in my daily skin and make-up routine. The little pearls refract light so perfectly! and it reduces puffiness and I even use it in areas where I have a few fine lines and it makes them much less noticeable- probably because of the light refraction ingredient and the cucumber extract kind of makes the fine lines relax a bit and it kind of makes them go away- which is good!!!
Please don't EVER discontinue this product!!! It is the best that I have ever found and as a woman when you find something that REALLY works and you implement it into your daily routine- you don't ever want to see it discontinued. This product works!! and it gives me so much confidence because it works!!!
Leslie and the BE Team- THANK YOU!!!!!

I have been using this product for about a year now, and I absolutely love it! It wasn't an instant fix for the dark circles, but after using it in the AM and PM everyday for a couple weeks, I noticed an improvement. And just like most BE products, a LITTLE bit goes a LONG way!!!

You just might get carded!
I love BE products! I love them even more now that I was carded last Friday while shopping at a popular drinks store! I am 41 years old, and with this product, my eyes look huge and bright. I am not sure what the "magic" is, but my brown eyes look darker and more defined. I definitely look younger and more alert. I use this in conjunction with the "well-rested" powder, as well as the superb eye cream. I cannot say enough about the skin care cleansers, lotions and eye creams! I am also a contact lens wearer, and I am convinced that the eye creams and this Rev-er Upper help alleviate any skin irritation and dryness that can come with contact lens wear. Love, love, love this stuff!!! Thank you, BE!!

I really, really like this!
The longer that I use this Eye Rev-er Upper the more I like it. Over time, it has really decreased the fine lines under my eyes. I don't notice a huge difference in my dark circles... Although the slightly shimmery-ness add some nice brightness underneath. It adds nice moisture and it is great for everyday use.

That's part of my problem too...along with lack of sleep. I'm not sure that this has a long-term benefit, but it does the job of diffusing out some of the darkness for me on a day-to-day basis. I have mild-moderate dark circles and I also use a variety of other products on top of this when they're particularly dark.

I use the bareVitamins Eye Rev-er Upper & adore I it, but my eyeshadow doesn't really stay put with it. My eyeshadow will fall into my creases & sometimes become so sheer over the course of the day that it doesn't look like I'm wearing eyeshadow at all by the end of it. Should I continue to use my Eye Rev-er Upper & just put a eye Prime Time on top of it? Can I do that, or would the products interact poorly?

Personally, I just use the Eye Rev-er Upper under my eyes. First, I use the Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream all around my eye area, and then I put the Rev-er Upper under my eyes and in the corner (near the nose) of my eye. I haven't used the primer yet, but the other two products that I mentioned do not affect my eyeshadow at all. Actually, my eyeshadow seems to stay on better. I also use the Well-Rested powder under my eyes. I hope this helps!

I don't like to spend a lot of money that things that just cover up the dark circles. I want to able to get ride of them as well. I get enough sleep but it's just till now i notice how dark they're getting. Please help me answer my question :)

I've only been using this for about 3 weeks, but as far as long term benefits to get rid of the dark circles I don't believe it's intended for that. It helps to moisturize, thus the fine line benefit, but as I understand it it is the small little 'pearls' of iridescence that help to refract light (brighten?), concealing the dark circles underneath. I have mild-moderate circles and use it every day to help with that, along with some other products as needed and I haven't noticed it doing anything to actually diminish them over time....that'd be the holy grail!

I don't know if this product would get rid of dark circles permanantly, but I do know that my overall skin appearance, including under my eyes, looks healthier since I have been using the Bare Minerals Exfoliating Treatment Cleanser, Purely Nourishing Moisturizer, and Renew & Hydrate Eye Cream. The Eye Rev-er Upper definitely would help lighten and refresh your skin under your eyes, at least temporarily. Both the eye cream and Rev-er Upper soothe the eye area - it feels very good on the skin. You may want to give it a try and see if the moisturizer and cream helps your skin's overall health.

Ruthlynn - Products like Well Rested and the Eye Rev-er Upper are short term quick fixes. If you're looking something to treat and not cover the problem like a band-aid, try the Eye Firming Treatment. Not only does it firm the eye are, but also helps with under eye circles and wrinkles. Apply 6 dots in a "C" curve around your eye area and gently pat it in with your ring finger. Do this morning and night. I promise it will help! My mom even keeps hers in the fridge even for an extra cool feeling. You can put it on over your bM foundation as well if you neeed a pick-me-up throughout the day and it wont ruin your makeup. Hope this helps!

It goes on very sheer, pretty much colorless. What makes it work is the cucumber extract and vitamin E, which soothe the skin to reduce the puffiness that causes the under eye circles. It also had light reflecting properties that deflect light away from the darkness without giving you "raccoon" eyes.

I have been using this for a couple weeks and my dark circle are much less visible even without makeup.
